WHAT IS A CYCLOTRON?

A CYCLOTRON, IT IS A DEVICE THAT IS USED ACCORDING TO A CHARGED PARTICLE WITH VERY LOW ENERGY UNDER THE COMBINED ACTION OF CROSS-FIELD.

1. CONSTANT MAGNETIC FIELD AND VARIABLE ELECTRIC FIELD.

A CYCLOTRON WAS INVENTED BY:-

- LIVING STONE

- LAWRENCE

CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING OF CYCLOTRON?

CYCLOTRON CONSIST OF 2 HOLO METALLIC CIRCULAR FORM ON THESE DEE'S A VARIABLE ELECTRIC BY THE AC SOURCE CREATED WITH FREQUENCY OF [10 TO THE POWER 7 HETZ].

ALONG WITH THIS FIELD, AN EXTERNAL MAGNETIC FIELD IS APPLIED UNDER THE COMBINED ACTION OF THESE 2 FIELDS THE CHARGED PARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE WILL FIRST WHICH WILL BE NEGATIVE AFTER THE IT MAGNETIC FIELD WILL CREATE A CENTRIPETAL FORCE AND BRING IT THE CHARGE. AFTER THE CHARGE PARTICLE ENTERS IN ANOTHER D AND THE WHOLE PROCESS IS REPEAT ITSELF AND THE CHARGE ARE ACCRUE A SPIRAL PATH FINALLY IT TAKE OUT THROUGH A WINDOW FOR A DESIRED TARGET.

RESONANCE CONDITION

IT IS A CONDITION WHEN THE FREQUENCY OF CHARGE OF PARTICLE BECOMES EQUAL TO THE FREQUENCY OF APPLIED ELECTRIC FIELD.

PRINCIPLE

CYCLOTRON IS BASED ON FACT THAT THE TIME PERIOD OF ALL REVOLUTIONS REMAINS CONSTANT i.e. FOR ALL THE CIRCLE OF THE SPIRAL PATH THE VEL KEEP ON INCREASING DUE TO CROSSFIELD UPTO RESONANCE CONDITION.

THEORY:-[ MAXIMUM ENERGY OF CHARGE IN CYCLOTRON]

MAXIMUM ENERGY OF A CHARGE PARTICAL INSIDE CYCLOTRON IS:-
